Advancements in medical X-ray devices will stimulate the market revenue
Technological advancements in diagnostic imaging modalities will escalate the medical X-ray market growth. Advancements in medical X-ray systems to provide high-quality, high-resolution images without a corresponding increase in radiation dose will positively influence the market progression. In addition, upgrades in video fluoroscopic X-ray systems, detector, or rather a detector chain will flourish the market expansion. Similarly, prominent industry players such as Hitachi, Canon, Philips, Siemens, GE Healthcare, and others are introducing novel medical X-ray systems for strengthening market position by introducing advanced quality devices.
Ability of analog medical X-ray to capture multiple X-ray images will boost the market expansion
The analog medical X-ray market value was more than USD 5.2 billion in 2020. Analog systems allow healthcare professionals to take multiple X-ray images from the same position. Numerous advantages of analog medical X-rays include better medical evaluation, effective dynamic range, reduced radiation exposure and better contrast detectability. In addition, other benefits such as accurate and superior image capture, flexibility in image management, superior evaluation of data and images as well as lower operational costs favour the segment growth.
Rising usage of direct radiography will surge the medical X-ray market demand
The direct radiography (DR) segment held around 42% market share in 2020. DR technology helps in improving image resolution as well as contrast that further spreads the dynamic range of image by adjusting the window position along with width. DR provides better vision for clinical application for improved and advanced patient images. Furthermore, these X-ray films have been extensively utilized in orthopaedic and dental procedures for diagnosing the patients that secure the market expansion.
